Proxima Centauri 4x5 camera

[HoodedOne]

A affordable (€ 299) 4x5 camera (3d printed) from the people at Gibellini cameras.

P.s. There're also plans for a 8x10

Interesting. Made from 100% recyclable materials. How long will it take to disintegrate?

ugh...white ???

I do give them credit for at least trying something...

[DrTang]

they should stick to printing bellows..there are plenty of cameras about.. but a cheap way of producing custom bellows would be nice

I think it looks cool, and it won't heat up to 200° in the hot sun either (like my rosewood/black bellows camera does!).

An entry-level camera that does most everything is a welcome addition, especially if it encourages people to take up LF.

Best,

I agree, Doremus! I think it looks very cool as well. I admire the Intrepid, it I think this certainly looks more interesting (weird yes, but interesting). And maybe we all need another (!) 4x5 camera like a hole in the head. Like the dog poop bags I carry around while walking the dog, Dan's point is well taken!

[Peter Lewin]

If the materials are well chosen, I can't see anything but praise for an inexpensive and lightweight 4x5 camera. We all benefit from anything that attracts more users into our niche of LF photography. I will be very interested in the reviews of this new camera.

I kind of like it. It's unique.
